SUBJECT:  The Great Lie Of Immaculate Conception

If you tell a lie enough times people will start to believe it.  
Churches have been telling lies for thousands of years.  As a 
result many churches and religious denominations are based upon 
falsehood.

The immaculate conception and virgin birth of Jesus Christ is 
fundamental falsehood upon which all Christian religions are 
based.  Teaching this false belief and the idea that Jesus Christ 
is therefore the son of God and died for man's sins over time 
results in a humanity that has lost touch with reality.

Jesus was no more the son of God than any other man or woman.  
Jesus was a teacher of love and his teachings have been perverted 
by organized religion in order to gain power, control people's 
lives and minds and make a profit.  This is a great insult and 
crime of extortion against humanity.

The teachings of Jesus Christ are not enhanced by making a man 
into the son of God.  This is because all men and women are of 
God given the devotion of their lives to love.

religion is not fixed but evolves just as does life evolve.  The 
sooner old time religions evolve to recognize the lie of 
immaculate conception and virgin birth and teach the truth that 
Jesus Christ was a great man who taught that God was love and 
that people who devoted their lives to love and goodness were 
doing God's work, then the more Godly humanity will truly become.

True, these ideas do not reflect the teachings of mainstream 
religion.  To many they may represent Biblical revolution.  These 
ideas are counter to fundamental Christian church doctrine.  Yet 
that does not make truth a lie.  On the contrary, the revelation 
of truth is what enables religion to evolve.  Least Christianity 
evolve to teach that God is love and Christ was just a man, then 
it shall die along with the lie of immaculate conception and 
virgin birth.  To gain salvation humanity must love all people, 
especially those, like Christ, who do not fit into the mould of 
traditional religion.

Sincerely, Terry Lynch
